Korean drinking is built around anju — food ordered alongside the alcohol, not optional in most places. Soju and beer are the standard pair (mixed together it is called somaek); makgeolli, a cloudy rice brew, is usually drunk with savoury pancakes. Pouring your own glass is avoided: you pour for others and they pour for you.
Ordered by how complete each public record is and how long the licence has been held — not a popularity ranking. Opening hours, prices and ratings are not in this data.
